A NEWMAN government MP claimed he was offered an inducement to defect to Palmer United Party, but police will not take action.

CLIVE Palmer is threatening to sue Campbell Newman for defamation over his allegations that he was buying votes.

THE former AWH boss boasted of talks with the Queensland government about a $100 million infrastructure project.

CAMPBELL Newman’s top public servant is under intense pressure after evidence emerged casting doubt on his account of a meeting.

CAMPBELL Newman’s top public servant now says he “cannot be sure’’ if he has had official dealings with an Australian Water Holdings director.

QUEENSLAND’S top public servant intends to retain his major stake in a company set up last year with Nick Di Girolamo and Eddie Obeid Jr.

QUEENSLAND’S CMC has warned it will become the only Australian watchdog that is not focused on investigating serious corruption.

TAXPAYER-owned Sydney Water was inadvertently funding Nick Di Girolamo and the Obeid family’s ambitions.

THE solicitor who secured the release of doctor Mohamed Haneef will stand as a Labor candidate at the QLD state election.
